Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for TRAF4(NM_004295.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This gene encodes a member of the TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) family. TRAF proteins are associated with, and mediate signal transduction from members of the TNF receptor superfamily. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with neurotrophin receptor, p75 (NTR/NTSR1), and negatively regulate NTR induced cell death and NF-kappa B activation. This protein has been found to bind to p47phox, a cytosolic regulatory factor included in a multi-protein complex known as NAD(P)H oxidase. This protein thus, is thought to be involved in the oxidative activation of MAPK8/JNK. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed but the full-length nature of only one has been determined. [provided by RefSeq].
Gene References into function
- Involvement in oxidative activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase
- activation of the NF-kappaB pathway is involved in up-regulation of TRAF4 in T-cells
- TRAF4 may play a role in p53-mediated proapoptotic signaling in the response to cellular stress
- TNF-receptor activation leads to activation of the p70S6K; TRAF4 is a mediator in this TNF-induced signaling pathway; and TRAF4 inhibits Fas-induced apoptosis
- MEKK4 is the MAPK kinase kinase for TRAF4 regulation of the JNK pathway
- TRAF4 gene amplification is one of the mechanisms responsible for TRAF4 protein overexpression in human cancers
- Disrupting endogenous p63 expression downregulated TRAF4 mRNA & protein in SCCHN cells. Endogenous p63 bound the TRAF4 promoter in vivo. TAp63 is the most active transactivator of TRAF4. TRAF4 is associated with differentiation of SCCHN cells.
- Apart from being a well replicated risk factor for RA, TRAF1/C5 also appears to be a risk factor for the rheumatoid factor-negative polyarthritis subtype of JIA and seems to be associated with subtypes of JIA characterised by a polyarticular course.
- TRAF4 is one of the emerging TJ-dependent signaling pathways that responds to cell polarity by regulating the cell proliferation/differentiation balance, and subsequently epithelium homeostasis.
